Step one - NOTE CAP VALUES AND LOCATIONS TAKE PICTURES AND WRITE NOTES.
Step two - remove caps. Motherboard, cardboard table liner, smallish vice grips, patience.
Step three - replace caps. I left the legs full length, and trimmed afterwards.
boot and pray.
Tools needed - end nippers or flush cuts, solder, soldering iron.
I ended up cranking the heat down and the time-applied up, and I had to bridge-pull a couple of caps (put a solder bridge between the two cap wires underneath and put the tip of the iron in that, remove the bridge once you have the cap in question out)
iirc, I ended up using higher-value caps across the whole board. I believe that the value isn't terribly important, though you want to meet or exceed the existing caps. Match if possible.
